Mindanao. Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley C124 Mrs. Clemens) February, 1905. 

 A species evidently related to the Malayan Zan<»iiu macrocarpa Blume, differing 

 from the latter in its cordate leaves, smaller seeds which have much wider and 

 somewhat longer wings than in Minnie's species, of this genus, Zanonia indica 

 Linn., has been reported from the Philippines by F.-Yillar. hut his record has 



never been verified.
